The
professional certificate course is
designed as per international
standards customized to Indian
Ethics, Culture & taste. Three-hour
classes are conducted once a week
over a period of 9 months, where a
team of selected and qualified
instructors will teach the program.
. Each class is limited to 15-20
students only. The limited class
size is to enable instructors to
closely monitor all students
starting from Day 1, when they begin
handling flowers. It is also due to
the “space” students will need when
they start arranging bigger & taller
pieces.

The course has been structured in
three semesters with right blend of
theory and practical. After every
semester the students have to appear
for a written and practical
examination. On completion of the
full course an advanced certificate
is awarded by
the Institute.
